On favor please say aye. Aye. Opposed to the knee. Motion does carry 47 responses. That's a lot of work to go through all that. They appreciate their work. 7a is approval of budget amendment request 100400 or Roe note EMS including the transfer of funds from non-departmental and appropriate and regular contingency for fire and ambulance service in the amount of $1,806. I understand this was a mistake, but do we have anything in to have a plan so we can catch these kind of items? Was it possible for you to catch it? It was a throughout the entire year what we do is we bring those in monthly. The number of runs that they make in the unincorporated area are sent to our office on a monthly basis, where they did line of the fifth day of the last month and the next month. What this was was just accumulation of ones that they missed throughout the year. So a change in their administration changed who was sending those reports in and they weren't putting the exact ones in. It's what they do is they have to go through and anytime they have annexations in all of those cities, we don't cover those calls if they've annexed that area. We only cover the unincorporated calls. So it's very difficult with so much footworth annexing, we're all noxing and all that goes on is some calls are covered in some art that they have to really go detailed on the maps and determine whether they're on there. And these were the seven that we're missing throughout a year period. It's not just one month. It's my thought is on that if it's happening all the time that they should bear some of the burden, I know it's not a lot of money but still. By making mistake all the time, I have to pay for it at least part of it. So I'd like for you to speak to them about it and let them know that. Certainly will and I think that I think that this is what I'm bringing this to court at their request. And you know, mistakes are made throughout the year, but again, you know year but again it's not necessarily on the county's end but I will speak to them about that issue and make sure that the fire departments are following up with their reports monthly. There has been an awful lot of cities taking property into their ETA and and as well as once send them a lot back because they send us probably twice as many as they should and my office administration staff goes through every one of those reports that they send to make sure that it's not in the city or in someone else's city because a lot of the fire departments contract with other cities that don't have the M.S. So for example, roll no contracts with partial part of North Lake. We would not pay in the city of North Lake. Thank you. We have a motion for approval by Commissioner E. Seconded by Commissioner Mitchell. Are there further questions or comments? Any none? On favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed to the knee. Motion does carry 10 a is approval of the acceptance of county view lane into the county maintenance system. This is on precinct one. Before approval. We have a motion for approval by Commissioner Coleman, seconded by Commissioner Eads. Good morning, Bennett. Did you want to add anything? I think by asking questions. Thank you.

O to a link that shows those committee, those committees that are offered and their opportunity to volunteer. I don't know how you guys do it. I take a certain list of people that I've generated over the years and then I once a year issue a letter asking people if they're wanting to volunteer. I just don't have a lot of response back for those. Because of that, I have a lot of not a lot of vacancies on these committees or whatever boards that I was just thinking of any way that we could get some people to send us their names or other names that might recommend to serve on these boards or committees. How about it, how about it, if I have to court Kevin? If you would meet with Commissioner Marche and myself, and let's talk about what we can do to get some more volunteers. Mr. Marche and you can use somebody from another precinct. Yeah, it's just if I had their name. I usually have someone. Yeah, we send out a letter. I have in the last three or send out a letter at the beginning about these and try to generate. And last letter we did generate some, but not enough. They're dropping light fly. So off the committees and boards. So you have a particular committee that you're looking for somebody to serve. One that you'll let the other commissioners. Oh, yes. Yeah, yes. I have somebody there.
